Welcome to the Fantasy Zone
Space Harrier XE is my homage to Sega's fabulous arcade shoot 'em up game from 1985 - Space Harrier. It's being (slowly) developed for the Atari XL and XE series of 8-bit computers with 64KB or more memory, which narrowly missed out on a version at the time by becoming obsolete.
Arcade Space Harrier
Atari XL/XE Version
Playable Work in Progress Demo of Stage 1 was released in April 2002 as an Atari 130XE only disk image. The goal is to continue to develop and evolve the demo routines into an enhanced cartridge based version of the full game (if not a real cartridge, then at least a cartridge image that will run on emulators).

Thanks for all the support and encouragement so far everybody. If you have any interest in Atari consoles or computers I'd thoroughly recommend a visit to AtariAge, where there is lots of information and an active community of enthusiasts.
